From
comics to live action TV Series

Based
on the comic book series created and written by Gerard Way, illustrated by
Gabriel Bá, and published by Dark Horse Comics, the story of The Umbrella
Academy starts in 1989, when 43 infants are inexplicably born to random,
unconnected women who showed no signs of pregnancy the day before. Seven are
adopted by a billionaire who creates The Umbrella Academy and prepares his “children”
to save the world. Now, the six surviving members with conflicting
personalities reunite upon the news of their father’s passing and must work
together to solve a mystery surrounding his death, not to mention the imminent
threat of a global apocalypse.

The
show is produced by Universal Cable Productions for Netflix, with Steve
Blackman serving as executive producer and showrunner, and additional EPs Jeff
F. King, Mike Richardson, Keith Goldberg, Gerard Way, and Gabriel Bá.
